What OS are you using? Are you using the windows 98/windows ME pieces of total crap?

I'd search for everthing containing "limewire" trash them then try to reinstall.

I would also use windows update and do a spyware check with adaware. Something seems wrong on your system, millions of LW users do fine on Windows.
